Book 5 in The Bugging Out Series Freedom is worth fighting for...Years after the apocalyptic worldwide blight decimated humanity, the isolated survivor colony in Bandon, on the Oregon coast, is just beginning to thrive when all it has built, and all it has fought for, is suddenly threatened by the appearance of a marauding force on its borders. But this is not just any force. Claiming to be representative of a new government order, the leader of this army demands unconditional surrender--or Bandon will be annihilated.But conventional arms carried by an enemy are not all the survivors will face. A tiny microbe, as deadly to humans as the blight was to vegetation, may have been developed. And when a crippling illness sweeps through the town, Eric Fletcher, still reeling from the unexplained departure of his closest friend, finds himself facing that very man, Neil Moore, in a test that will determine if any in the tiny hamlet will survive.

This series has continued to evolve from a unique disaster, necessitating the main character to "bug out", to quite an involved intrigue. Very excited throughout with a shocking end. I look forward to book 6.

Good book

Read all of the books in order to really enjoy. Characters are realistic and get better and better. Storyline continues to grow and develop.

Such a good series! I hate that I only have one book left to read before I'm caught up!

At last, the final book! This last book finds the town of Brandon struggling to survive with its complex line up of characters the good and the bad. The forces from without Brandon are trying to take this tiny town of survivors and the fight seems hopeless.
I liked the twists and turns and the surprise ending. It all wraps up and the reader, who has gone thru all five of these books, will feel satisfied.
I recommend this book.

Thought Provoking

What I started to read book 1 of this series I almost stopped reading and I thought I'd try another author. I am so glad I read all 5 books. Mr Mann is a great author and his stories make one think and imagine what life would be like if our country and our citizens did not fight for our freedom. I would highly recommend this author.

Great 5th Installment - hope for more

Another great addition to the series. One storyline arch ends but more is left to continue on. I hope this series continues. More layers of the onion uncovered but still much more it seems.
